Chapter 3
Mr. Gold
I stared down at the girl, my hand still burning from the bracelet.
"Is Rose okay?" A little voice asked me. I looked up and saw a little boy. Just like the girl, he had dark brown hair, pale skin, and beautiful blue eyes. I knew immediately that this was another child of Belle's. I wasn't sure how they were here, but I knew that I would protect them at all cost. I had already lost my Belle; I wasn't going to let any part of her disappear from me. As she was still in the hospital, I would take care of these kids for her. It was the least I could do. She had saved me in both heart and soul.
"She's going to be just fine," I said. To my surprise the little boy folded himself into my side. I instinctively raised my arm to wrap around him.
"You gonna get the man that did that to her?" The little boy said.
"Can you tell me who did it? Or where you guys came from?" I asked him. He threaded his fingers through my suit.
"The Enchanted Forest. And it was a man that Killian would call a butthead," The little boy said, then giggled as if he had just said the worst curse he could think of.
"Killian?" I asked.
"Rose's love," The boy sang and grinned at me. "You say you don't like him, but Mummy says you're just pretending," The boy's perfect rosebud mouth struggled to form the longer word.
"Should we move her somewhere, Gold?" It was the savior, in all her righteous glory, that asked. I nodded and moved forward to pick the girl, Rose. It made my damaged knee hurt a little, but I was not letting anyone else touch Belle's daughter.
"She can come to my shop." I offered. The little boy trailed confidently after me as I started walking out of the diner. "Do I know you?" He giggled as if I had just told the funniest story in all worlds.
"Of course you know me Daddy."
